Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the OSTEO170100 is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Plug for unshrouded header with 17 positions
• Pitch Spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) center-to-center distance
• Termination Method: Screw-based wire termination
• Mounting Style: Free-hanging in-line orientation
• Electrical Ratings: 300 V UL voltage rating
• Wire Compatibility: 12-28 AWG wire gauge acceptance
• Torque Specification: 0.51 Nm (4.5 Lb-In) screw torque
• Wire Preparation: 5-6mm strip length requirement
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

The substitute part EO170102A000G meets all these critical parameters while offering active product status and enhanced operating temperature range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EO170102A000G from Amphenol Anytek is the qualified substitute for the obsolete OSTEO170100. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including pitch, position count, termination method, voltage rating, and wire gauge compatibility.

The substitute part offers the following advantages:

• Active Product Status: EO170102A000G is actively manufactured and supported, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements.
• Enhanced Operating Range: The substitute provides -40°C to 115°C operating temperature versus -30°C to 105°C, offering broader thermal performance margins.
• Identical Screw Torque: Both parts specify 0.51 Nm (4.5 Lb-In) torque, ensuring assembly procedure compatibility.

Selection of EO170102A000G eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full functional and mechanical compatibility with existing designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are OSTEO170100 and EO170102A000G mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm), position count (17), mounting type (free-hanging in-line), and screw torque specification (0.51 Nm). They are designed for the same unshrouded header interface.

Q: What electrical parameters must match for substitution?

A: The critical electrical parameters are voltage rating (300 V UL), wire gauge range (12-28 AWG), and screw torque (0.51 Nm). Both parts meet these specifications identically.

Q: Does the substitute part require different assembly procedures?

A: No. The wire strip length requirement (5-6mm) and screw torque specification (0.51 Nm / 4.5 Lb-In) are identical, allowing direct substitution in existing assembly processes.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. No compliance adjustments are required when substituting EO170102A000G for OSTEO170100.

Q: Why is the operating temperature range different?

A: The substitute part (EO170102A000G) offers an extended operating range of -40°C to 115°C compared to the original -30°C to 105°C. This represents an enhancement that does not affect compatibility in applications within the original temperature range.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute this part?

A: The OSTEO170100 is classified as obsolete. The EO170102A000G provides an active, supported alternative that maintains full functional and mechanical compatibility while ensuring ongoing component availability.
